Notice: Assumed Names can be filed in all 3 County Clerk locations.
Assumed Name Certificates (DBA or
"Doing Business As")
While information regarding Assumed Name searches is available via the internet at:
http://216.60.44.74/TX/Denton/default.aspx, the information available online may not be as current as the information available in the office. Conducting the search online and mailing the filing request with fees could result in another business retaining the same Assumed Name. Currently the only method to ensure a thorough search of an Assumed Name is to personally appear in the County Clerk's Office to conduct the search.
Currently, you may request that a search be
performed on the name that you are interested in by mail for a fee of
$10.00. However, if you come to our office in person, there is no fee for
the search and friendly clerks are available to assist you in your
business name search. Once the search is completed, the application can be
signed in front of one of our clerks instead of a notary and your
application will be processed immediately. Assumed name searches and assumed name recordings can be done through all County Clerk satellite locations.
Fee
The fee for an Assumed name Certificate to be filed and recorded is
$15.00. There is an additional $0.50 for each additional signature on the
business name. (i.e. A sole proprietor pays $15.00 for an assumed name
certificate and a partnership with two signers on the business name pays
$15.50)
Accepted forms of payment: cash, money order, cashier's check; business check; no personal checks.
